List of Latvian submissions for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film
The following is a list of the films submitted by Latvia for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film[nb 1] category at the Academy Awards. Latvia was once again internationally recognized as an independent state in September 1991. In the fall of 1992, they sent their first-ever film for consideration, the light comedy Child of Man by Jānis Streičs, for a chance at the 1992 Oscars. The film was considered alongside 32 other films but failed to receive an Oscar nomination. They made their next submission in 2008 and have sent a film in most of the years since then. In total, Latvia has entered the competition eleven times.
